Summary/Abstract

This bill would create a Greenhouse Gas Technical Assistance Provider and Third-Party Verifier Certification Program within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The program would help solve technical entry barriers that prevent farmer and forest landowner participation in carbon credit markets. The bill would direct USDA to provide transparency, legitimacy, and informal endorsement of third-party verifiers and technical service providers to help private landowners generate carbon credits. It would also assist landowners in implementing the protocols and monetizing the climate value of their sustainable practices by connecting them to relevant private sector actors.
